That's so like me, out of all ME2 NCPs to choose the one that died yeas before the game started... The one that never even appeared in the game! (Yellow drells are pretty (the hell, all drells are pretty!), but Irikah, judging by Kolyat's colour, probably has a blue skin...)And still. Everythyng that Thane tells about her makes me wish she were alive, so I could meet her, so she and Thane could still be together.

Waaah Irikah *w* I would be sooo happy if she would still be alive but...*sigh* I always imagined her as reaaaally beautiful and with short temper :/ I love your version of her. And Kolyat xD So funny~

It's just I've heard a lot about Thane's development: the design and the backstory were both oriented to the female players, the developers even went to consult the ladies from the other departments to ask if they like what's coming out. In the result the romance turned out to be somewhat... sappy? Anyway, I'm glad if it dosn't affect other players.

I think those romances will drive me mad in ME3! There is so many options, even without importing different saves! I'm stying to postpone the final choice though, to be able to see all the outcomes without replaying half of the game. I hope I won't miss a lot because of that...

The things you do with each romance often require working them from early on or so that's my impression. Its as if each step towards romance bonding is tied into a plot event/precedes ones/follows one.
